Chapter 37
The Crystal Source of the Dry Sea?
Chapter 37 The Crystal Source of the Dry Sea?
One sword!
This giant whale, over 500 meters long and reaching the ninth level of the Hengxing star system, was brutally killed by Gu Ce.
Gu Ce skillfully extracted the 'Sea Beast Gel' from its body while chatting with Rimuru.
"Hong has already broken through to the Hengxing level? Thor is actually a step behind?" Gu Ce was somewhat surprised, not expecting Hong to break through before Thor.
It seems the gym owner's prized physical talent is about to disappear.
"Then they should be leaving Earth soon," Gu Ce said.
"Hmm." Rimuru nodded.
The slime's body nodded somewhat comically, making Gu Ce chuckle.
"Luo Feng's wife is almost two months pregnant, Master, when are you going to find a partner?" Although he didn't know what Gu Ce was laughing at, Rimuru, who was well-versed in Chinese culture, still made a retort.
Gu Ce could no longer laugh.
"What's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be will be no use forcing it," Gu Ce said solemnly. "Besides, with my current five-fold genetic level, it's difficult for ordinary humans to have offspring with me. Let's talk about that later."
"There are plenty of things in the universe that can help people get pregnant," Rimuru said noncommittally.
o( ̄ヘ ̄o#)
"Let's not talk about that, Rimuru. Are there any cosmic-level sea monsters around here? The celestial-level ones are no longer a threat." Gu Ce changed the subject.
"Yes, there is." Rimuru quickly found his target.
"Eleven kilometers away from us, there is a third-tier cosmic-level desert octopus heading in our direction, seemingly attracted by the scent of giant whale blood."
"Alright, this is a good opportunity to practice." Gu Ce nodded and gripped the Cloud Sea Sword tightly in his hand.
Within the Dry Sea Secret Realm, the strongest sea beasts are at the eighth level of the Universe Realm. Once they reach the ninth level and have even the slightest possibility of advancing to the Domain Lord Realm, they will be eliminated by the people guarding the Secret Realm.
For example, the bald-headed domain lord from before was one of the staff members responsible for guarding the Dry Sea Secret Realm.
Even if a domain lord-level sea beast appears, it won't live long!
……
"The Diaman Brothers!"
Xie Peng shouted excitedly.
Diaman's expression changed, and he instantly turned to look behind Xie Peng.
A large group of white figures were following Xie Peng and his companions at an extremely fast speed. Xie Peng and his group were putting in all their effort, but the white figures were getting closer and closer and were about to catch up.
Diaman, his face filled with terror, turned and ran without hesitation.
joke!
Cloud Shark has another name in this desolate sea.
"The White Demon!"
Generally speaking, cloud sharks rarely reach the cosmic level; their individual strength is below average among sea monsters, making them not difficult to deal with.
The problem is that cloud sharks usually travel in groups!
Most cloud sharks reach planetary level upon reaching adulthood, and breaking through to the constellation level is not an obstacle for them. When they gather together, even cosmic-level sea monsters become their prey!
"Damn it!" Diaman cursed Xie Peng as he fled.
He didn't want to use up his chance to call for help as soon as he arrived.
The cloud sharks were hot on their heels and were about to catch up with the four of them. They could feel the churning waves and the presence of the cloud sharks behind them.
"Looks like this is the only option."
Severus's face darkened. Had it really come to this?
"Whoosh!"
A spaceship suddenly appeared in front of the four of them!
"You actually have such a large spatial ring? Your family is really generous!" Gu Shan exclaimed in surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense and get in!" Severe quickly entered the spaceship, followed closely by the other two.
Xie Peng was a step behind, beckoning Diaman to join him as they entered the spaceship.
Diaman didn't mince words; this was their fault to begin with. Seeing the cloud shark approaching, he quickly hid inside the spaceship.
The spacecraft hatch closed quickly.
"Phew! Brother Westford, thank you so much." Xie Peng, still shaken, thanked him.
"Who is this?" Gu Shan asked curiously.
"This is the second prince of the Cui Mu Empire, and also my good brother, Diaman," Xie Peng introduced enthusiastically.
Diaman greeted them individually.
Sifrevi took a breath and reassured everyone, saying, "Don't worry, this spaceship is made of C9-grade alloy; even a typical domain lord couldn't damage it."
"I spent tens of millions of Qianwu coins to buy this spaceship. All the equipment inside is top-notch. You can experience it for yourselves."
Having escaped danger, Severvy began to boast.
"As expected of the Westlife brothers!" Xie Peng exclaimed excitedly, with Gu Shan echoing his sentiment.
"Look!" Mu Yuanli, who had been staring at one spot, suddenly shouted.
"Is that... the Dry Sea Crystal Source?"
Mu Yuanli's voice trembled slightly.
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately looked in the direction that Mu Yuanyuan had pointed.
Among the group of cloud sharks, a large, fat shark with a grayish-white body and three pairs of fins on its back stared menacingly at the spaceship, seemingly contemplating where to begin its attack.
The three pairs of fins indicate that it is a rare, cosmic-level cloud shark, but this is not the focus of attention.
The key point is that a fist-sized black crystal is embedded in its forehead!
"The Dry Sea Crystal Source only appears when the Sky Sea and the Underground Sea exchange. It is usually picked up by sea beasts in the sea. No one can find the pattern of its appearance. Some people say that it is the product of the collision and combination of Dry Sea Water Droplets and Dry Sea Primal Stones when the sea water changes." Mu Yuanli murmured.
"A single Dry Sea Crystal Source is worth 1 million Cosmic Coins!"
Greed gleamed in their eyes as they exchanged glances.
"But that's a group of cloud sharks led by a cosmic-level cloud shark; there are at least a hundred of them, just at the constant-level." Diaman poured cold water on the idea.
Immediately, the group calmed down.
"What do you guys think?" Xie Peng looked at everyone.
"Fuck it!" Sivorvi said through gritted teeth.
Even without using technological weapons, the spaceship's defenses alone would make them invincible!
However, one must not act rashly.
We need to plan this out in the long term.
……
"This thing is much more troublesome than the Octopus Beast King."
Gu Ce took a step back, looking at the Desert Octopus in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
This desert octopus is enormous, with each tentacle measuring over a kilometer in length, making it a behemoth.
In fact, whether in the Sky Sea era or the Underground Sea era, this Desert Sea Octopus was a dominant force, possessing cosmic-level bloodlines upon adulthood, and had virtually no rivals in this secret realm.
Cloud Sea Sword Technique, First Form: Waves!
Gu Ce swung his sword, instantly cleaving through the surrounding seawater. The fundamental laws of water were contained within his swordsmanship, and pale blue energy threads clung to the blade as he slashed towards the Desert Octopus.
The Desert Octopus swayed its body and extended two tentacles in an attempt to block, but Gu Ce severed them directly.
"Its defense is not high, but its regeneration ability is extremely strong. At the same time, it is extremely strong in water control, and it seems to be vaguely approaching the threshold of the domain."
By dodging the tentacles' attacks, Gu Ce deduced the sea monster's approximate strength.
Not very strong.
But they're troublesome!
It should be noted that before mastering the third move of the Ice Desolate Sword Technique, Waves was Gu Ce's strongest killing move, which was close to "Frozen" in power and was more suited to Gu Ce himself, allowing him to unleash even greater power.
Not to mention, Gu Ce's gene multiplier, understanding of laws, seven realms, Cloud Sea Sword...
With so many buffs...
This sword strike is absolutely unstoppable by ordinary cosmic-level beings!
However, Gu Ce's sword strike did not cause much damage to the desert octopus.
The two tentacles that had just been severed have now fully recovered.
Gu Ce was about to continue his sword strike when he saw the eight tentacles of the Desert Octopus stirring up the seawater, creating whirlpools.
The vortex blocked Gu Ce and the Desert Octopus. The Desert Octopus contracted its entire body and then shot out at an extremely fast speed.
"Whoosh!"
Want to run?
Gu Ce's gaze sharpened as he watched the Desert Octopus's movements.
It's not that easy!
With a burst of speed, Gu Ce increased his speed once again.
It broke through the water flow, bursting with speed, and split into three avatars, directly chasing after the desert octopus!
